J~ TUESDAY FEBRUARY 22, 1983 Subject to annual review and to subsequent changes in priorities and to budgetary constraints, Council accepted the City's administrative recommendations that a seven- year street-and-sidewalk construction program be adopted (as set forth in a memorandum dated February 15, 1983, to City Manager Edmonds from George W. Brown, Assistant City Manager and Director of Public Works), in which program the costs are to be borne by the City, with the exception of those projects involved in the CBD program wherein the current shared-cost policy will prevail, to which recommended construction project was added (at the request of Vice-Mayor Oakes) a 160-foot section along the souths ide of Clearview Drive in the vicinity generally opposite the intersection of Barrows Mill Road. As noted in Mr. Brown's memorandum and emphasized by Mayor Cole, inherent in the adopted construction program is the goal to provide inproved pedestrian and traffic safety on and along City streets and thoroughfares. Council unanimously accepted for introduction (and further consideration and/or action at its forthcoming March 8th meeting) a proposed ordinance to amend Appendix D and Appendix E of Article X of the City's Terms and Conditions for Electric Service whereby, in addition to some clarification thereof, the present charges therein for specified electric connection services will be upgraded or updated from the year 1976, the year in which such charges were last established. For its further consideration of this proposed ordinance, as introduced, Council requested additional information as to the basis for the proposed new charges or fees as well as to their competitiveness with fees charged by other area utility companies. Council acknowledged comments and/or suggestions from former Mayor William D. Hobson and Vice-Mayor Oakes concerning the collection of delinquent property taxes, including suggested follow-up procedures thereon.
